It outlines their powers, responsibilities, and procedures for things like budgeting, zoning, and public safety. Essentially, it provides a legal framework for local officials to manage community affairs, ensuring they follow state and federal laws while serving the needs of their residents. The code is designed to promote transparency, accountability, and effective governance at the local level.
